“Cyborg” Santos is coming off a stunning 30-second Bellator debut win over Brennan Ward. While his powerful punching and wild style have put him on the winning – and losing – side of many quick fights, it was a heel hook submission that led to his Bellator 153 victory. He’s making a quick turnaround in hopes to build on his first two-fight winning streak since 2010.
